The hqx extension indicates a binhex file, which you could unencode in a separate pass.
It is tricky, since any mac app that's prepared to be handled by the arbitrary filesystem, will be encoded. If you can already open a .bin, get BinHex (below) it'll decode your .hqx to an .sea, which then will self-extract by being double clicked. You will find many classic apps in this archive. http://www.newnan.cc/FTP.html BinHex is only 6K! http://www.pure-mac.com/compen.html#binhex On Jan 28, 11:13 am, deadwinter <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi folks: > > As I mentioned before, I have a Beige G3 Desktop I've been playing > with.
